DBCO-PEG2-PFP ester
This product is a heterobifunctional linker containing a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group, a PEG2 spacer, and a terminal pentafluorophenyl (PFP) ester. The DBCO enables rapid, copper-free SPAAC click chemistry with azides, while the PFP ester reacts efficiently with primary amines to form stable amide bonds. The PEG2 spacer adds solubility and flexibility in a compact design, making this reagent especially useful for dual-functional bioconjugation.
